| DAC for either Roon or HQPlayer on Linux? I haven’t heard the Onkyo one so I can’t say. | |
| When you suddenly realize.... I admit that the ritual of cleaning the vinyl or CD and cueing it up is satisfying. But exploring the whole wide world of music is so exciting. And now that we have at least 16/44 resolution it rivals my hard drive of a mere 1500 CDs on the hard d... | |
| DAC for either Roon or HQPlayer on Linux? I know this is an older thread but I was researching the TEAC UD-503 and saw this. I own this unit and the Sonica plus others. The TEAC unit is fantastic and doesn’t get enough attention. It has a different character than the ESS Sabre DAC Chips. ... | |
| John Prine I share your feelings. | |
| Emotiva BasX TA-100 integrated or BasX PT-100 preamp sound quality I think you get what you pay for. Emotiva is not fine dining but it is a good meal for the money. Very reliable, great warranty, great company. I own the TA 100 and am using it with Wharfdale monitors, chord mojo and a laptop in my office. I like ... | |
| Von Schweikert vr-4 vs Stratus GoldI I can’t really help but I’m still in love with my VR-4JRs. Good luck. | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it Carlos Santana. Caravanserai. Before all the pop stuff of late. I trip out and they walk away. It’s just me. | |
| 2.1 tube pre with ht bypass? As you probably know most subs have high level (speaker level) inputs and the sub sets the crossover. I prefer REL which lets the mains run full frequencies and you set the sub with its own volume and cut off. I’m using a Modwright tuned preamp. I... | |
| Integrated amp Everyone has their favorite. If you don't need a DAC, mine is the Creek 5350 SE. Remote. Detailed. Smooth. Reliable. Great Sonics. Class A-AB. Not digital sounding. Pair it with a Schiit DAC or Cambridge DAC like I do for a great system. | |
| Teac UD-501 DAC I have the Teac UD-503 DAC. Absolutely love it. I find the ESS chips detailed but tiring. The Teacs use an AKM Veritas chip that Teac engineers and AKM co/developed. It is smooth and detailed at the same time. It makes the ESS Saber DACs sound cli... | |
| integrated amp recommendations needed Consider a Creek 5250 SE if you can find one. Beautiful sound. Plenty of power. Remote. I love mine. | |
| New Surrounds On Wall Try all positions. Audio Kama Sutra. This order worked for me. Front L and R, then L R and Center, then add side surrounds, then add front L and R height speakers and finally rear surrounds. Go to the Dolby or DTS or Atmos websites for more info. ... | |
| Speaker placement behind the screen Please give us more info on the room: screen size, seating configuration, source material (blu-ray vs DVD), sound system especially amplification, decoding of sound tracks (Dolby, HD, DTS, etc), height of the seating (front to back), and the exact... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs I believe that rooms should be set up for vinyl or Digital and it's very hard to set them up perfectly for both. Because of the compression inherent in vinyl it is necessary to adjust the speakers accordingly. Also, you will never eliminate the no... | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Anti-cables. Pure copper. No BS. Affordable. |
